  1. AIM video support is nice and all. . . by the+argonaut · · Score: 2, Interesting

    . . . but it would be REALLY nice and infinitely more useful (not to mention probably easier from a programming perspective) if they would add support for little things as editing you AIM profile and transparent buddy icons.

      Support for animated buddy icons would be nice, too. I've got some friends with animated buddy icons where the first frame of the animated gif is blank, and it gets old talking to a blank space after a while. I'd put the running man back, but I'm also extremely lazy...

  2. application locations inconsistency by BobWeiner · · Score: 3, Interesting

    For iPhoto, you have to keep the iPhoto app in the Applications folder for the Software Update to find the app and install the updater. (I had mine in a nested folder called 'Photo apps' under my Applications folder, and the Software Update 'could not find iPhoto.' Yet, for iChat 2.1, which was also nested in a subfolder under my 'Applications' folder, 'Software Update' was able to find the old version and make the update without nary a hitch. Could someone explain the inconsistency as far as why certain apps MUST be in specific places yet others don't...?
